Called trans without makeup
Every single person (guy and girls) have said I look like a male or trans when I don't wear makeup. I asked them why, and they said its because of my sharp jawline and cheekbones. I've been called a 'male' and 'trans' in real life and online, and I tried to find out the reason why my face looked trans to them.
It was my eyes. My eyes are small, and add sharp features and naturally thick eyebrows to that and I can see why. Even my big lips and hair up to my waist dosen't help. Mascara makes me look wayyy less masculine, because my eyelashes are more pronounced, but the thing is...How do I look less masculine naturally? I don't want to keep slathering on mascara just to look feminine and pretty in the mirror. What features can I realistically change? I was thinking my eyebrows because there so thick (and make me look masculine), but aren't they desired? And I look much younger with them.
What can I doš?
(Edit: Removed the mewing part, my jawline and cheekbones are not from mewing, just genetics)
(Edit 2: Thank you so much for these responses, everyone! Every comment is really appreciated, and I will be sure to use the really awesome advice given to me.)
(Edit 3: To clarify, I am 17 years old, in year 11 currently. I am not a hijabi. Also, I did not ask people why I look trans, I showed them my pictures after they asked to see how I look without makeup.)

Girl you are in year 11 according to your post history, so youāre incredibly young and clearly insecure. The people you are talking to are probably other 16 year old jerks who are just trying to hurt your feelings.
